He mentions undoing one end of the steering rod and doing that way.

I need to check if there is anything special about Morgan's, but usually to change a rack gaiter is a simple job, take off the track rod end ( count the turns) and lock nut, and once the clips/ties are removed from the gaiter it slides off down the rod.. Unless I'm missing something?

You're missing something! Two track rod ends per track rod and the gaiters are in the centre

Ah.. Well trust Morgan's to do something different to every other manufacturer. Well corrected Dave, I must take another look next time I'm under there!

I could cope with it if it was all in a line as per normal, but this has me stumped :-( Glad it's not just me...
